Memory card error

\015 Used my Panasonic DMC-FX8 camera for a couple years and it worked just fine. \015\012\015\012Suddenly, the card I was using reports "Memory card error Please check the card". I've tried 3 different types of SD card, all working on other devices, and formatted cards, and always the same problem.\015\012\015\012There must be a hardware problem in the card reader in the camera.\015

Answers :

If the card works on OTHER devices, and you've formatted the cards... the only conclusion you can really have is that it's a problem with the camera. Repair or replace.

Card error I have a e-1. Two memory cards with 1 and 2 gb. I get a "card error" message when I insert either into the camera. I brought it to one camera shop. They said that a couple of the pins (that connect the memory card to the brains of the camera) were bent. Recently took it to another repair shop and he inserted a card with less memory and the camera worked. Is it the cards or the camera? Will the camera work (with bent pins or whatever) if I get a new memory card?

When I turn the camera on I get the message "memory card error". The only button on the camera which then works is the menu button but it just brings up the screen and then the same error message.

My computer also fails to recognise the camera when I connect it via the usb port. Any bright ideas?

You need to format the card in the camera. Go into the menu and scroll to "format" and follow the on-screen instructions. This will erase and initialize the card . To download pictures, the most trouble-free way is to use a card reader and download t ...
